Streets go North, South, Avenues go East, West. All have a SW, NW, SE,NE designation to tell you what side of downtown you are on. It isn't that difficult to figure out.

Got to love the grid system.

Unfortunately, not all are created equal. It can vary from city to city.

Here, streets are E-W and Ave's are N-S.

Odd numbers are on the N & W side of the street. Evens on the S & E.

Not much different than new subdivisions that have streets named Mapletree Lane, Mapletree Drive, Mapletree Street, Mapletree Avenue, Mapletree Road, Mapletree Circle...did I leave any out?

That's not too far from here and I've only driven in that area a few times but it is pretty chopped up with many similar sounding road names.

As many times as I've been to Hickory, I've never noticed that

See the parts after the street name (NE, SE, NW, SW)? Those mean something.
